Before that and during that game he did exactly what we brought him in to do too!

Yes and had a massive influence on the dressing room, which is what we seriously lack at the moment.

Why is it bollox? I remember that incident and although it must have been awful for him, he was clearly NOT MOTM. I can't remember who it was now, but there was one player that really stood out as MOTM and everyone was astonished when they picked Kearney instead.

that happens pretty regularly though (just look at the MOTM threads on here, normally get a fair spread of different names each week). Can't recall enyone beeing booed for it before or since though.

That was tha game where he spent almost the whole time bent over as though he was either very unfit or hungover. He was probably neither but he looked like he could hardly run.

The MOTM award was a shambolic decision by whoever made it.

It's bollox because whether you boo the player or the decision, it's still a public slight on the player and he's going to feel just as humiliated.

I remember the game and the decision, and the MOM should have gone elsewhere IMO. But that wasn't Kearney's fault and he didn't deserve the boos. Simple as.

I would offer him more to come hear

Back to the original question, if that's the going rate for a top class coach then we need to be paying it. Otherwise we'll wither and die. Wonder what justine is on across the river?

lololol he called him a ladies name lmao rofl

more to the fact, whats he on? whoosh!

It was Shayne McMenemy.

I know you said as much yourself, Paul, but to clarify he was not hungover. He was rushed back from a fairly serious pectoral injury.

Definately Not

Must be a young aussie - Rovers picked up Justin fairly cheap.

Pretty sure Mick Potter wouldn't have been big bucks.

We are the club that started this with Brian Smith remember - the LAST FC coach to overachieve with the squad of players he had at his disposal.

I think that if Kearney is the kind of guy that thought he deserved that MOTM award, and also cannot comprehend that the fans that booed were booing the decision and not him, then it's probably best if he doesn't come back to Hull. We have had our fill of coaches who have no empathy with the fans.

The booing was wrong, but it was a spontaneous outburst by a shocked set of fans. If the people around Kearney at the time couldn't explain the situation to him then that's sad.

BTW - I very much doubt that this is something that weighs very heavily on his mind.

FOD vs Kosh, Gloucestershire vs Worcestershire in the battle of the odd accented Hull fans!

Are you sure? I thought it was Paul Cooke that was outstanding that day? It was embarrassing when Kearney, sorry the decision, was booed.

Cant see the fuss for Kearney at the moment,very unproven at head coach level in Aus and how much of a influence was Bennett in the world cup win?

Whether he thought he deserved the award or not is immaterial. I doubt he had much time to make a dispassionate judgement. I also doubt it 'weighs heavily on his mind', as you put it, but probably colours his opinion of a certain section of our fanbase.

As it does mine.

Thousands weep in despair and then hang their heads in shame.

yes easily £200000 is knack all for a coach

My money is on FOD
